Birch Hill Hat
Introducing the Birch Hill Hat—a beautifully designed knitting pattern that fits everyone in your family! This hat features stunning Aran-inspired cables and a cozy garter rib fabric, echoing the beloved Birch Hill Pullover. Crafted with a cabled and ribbed texture that stretches beautifully, we recommend choosing a size that is approximately 2-3” smaller than your actual head circumference for an ideal fit. This versatile unisex hat is knitted in one continuous piece in the round, seamlessly working from the brim to the top. Made from soft merino wool yarn, the Birch Hill Hat offers warm comfort while showcasing its intricate texture. Don't worry—any DK-weight yarn will work wonderfully, making this a flexible project for knitters of all levels. The child size shown features about 3” of negative ease for a snug fit.
Important Note: If you decide to add the optional pom-pom, be sure to have an additional 25 yards of yarn on hand or consider extra yarn if you want to make the hat taller.
